Introduction
Carefully read, understand and follow all safety
rules and operating instructions. Perform the
following steps each day before use. DO NOT
perform service on the Work Platform with the
platform elevated unless the elevating assembly is
properly supported.
1.
Remove module covers and inspect for damage, oil
leaks or missing parts.
2.
Check the level of the hydraulic oil with the platform
fully lowered and the Outriggers fully stowed. Oil
should be visible on the filler cap dip stick. If
necessary top-up using ISO#46 hydraulic oil.
3.
Check that the electrolyte level in the batteries
is correct. (Battery Maintenance, Page 9)
4.
Verify batteries are charged.
5.
Check that the A.C. extension cord has been
disconnected from the charger.
6.
Carefully inspect the entire machine for damage
such as cracked welds or structural members, loose
or missing parts, oil leaks, damaged cables or hoses,
loose connections and tyre damage.
7.
Move machine, if necessary, to an unobstructed area
where machine can be fully elevated.
8.
Check that the surface is capable of supporting
the outrigger loads, and is generally level. Apply the
handbrake.
9.
Ensure that no leaks are present on the hydraulic
hoses to the Outrigger cylinders and that they are
properly secured. Check that there is no physical
damage to the cylinder body or ram.
IF THERE IS
ANY DAMAGE DO NOT PROCEED IN
USING THE MACHINE
.
10.
To extend the Hydraulic Outriggers an Operator
must first ensure that all Emergency Stop Buttons
are released (turned clockwise). Then turn the
Keyswitch to the chassis position and deploy the
Outriggers using the Toggle Switches until the
Outrigger Foot Pads come into contact with the
surface (See Figure 1). Care should be exercised
that the Foot Pads are orientated correctly. When all
four Outriggers are in contact with the surface the
Chassis can then be elevated. This should be done
by extending each Outrigger one at a time in small
increments until both of the Road Wheels have just
cleared the ground.
11.
The Chassis must then be levelled using the
Bubble Level on the rear of the Chassis as a
reference. When carrying out these minor
adjustments the last operation on the Outriggers
must be an extension so as to avoid the possibility of
minor settling in the Hydraulic Fluid.
For a more detailed description of this procedure the
instructions in the Operation Section of this
Operators Manual should be followed.
Do not use a machine that is damaged or
malfunctioning. Tag and remove the unit from
service until it is repaired.
SYSTEM FUNCTION INSPECTION
NOTE:
Refer to Figure 2, Figure 3 & Figure 4 for the
Outrigger Control, Lower Control and Platform
Control locations.
STAND CLEAR
of the Work Platform while
performing the following checks.
BEFORE
operating the Work Platform survey the
work area for surface hazards such as holes, drop-
off’s (curbs), bumps and debris.
CHECK
in all directions, including above the
Work Platform, for obstructions and power lines or
cables.
CORDON
off the area within the platform’s
working area to keep passers-by clear of the
booms.
12.
Turn both of the Chassis and the Platform
Emergency Stop buttons
ON
(rotate clockwise).
Turn the Keyswitch on the Outrigger Control box to
the position marked
CHASSIS
(anticlockwise
position).

Mounted Work Platform.
This manual must be stored on
the machine at all times.
